NHL star Johnny Gaudreau deadly New Jersey crash case continues after judge rejects Sean Higgins motion

In one of the NHL’s most closely watched legal cases, defense lawyers attacked blood-alcohol evidence presented to the grand jury, but prosecutors successfully kept aggravated-manslaughter and vehicular-homicide charges in play.
